Text Box: Course Overview: This course enables students to deepen their understanding of chemistry through the study of the properties of chemicals and chemical bonds; chemical reactions and quantitative relationships in those reactions; solutions and solubility; and atmospheric chemistry and the behaviour of gases. Students will further develop their analytical skills and investigate the qualitative and quantitative properties of matter, as well as the impact of some common chemical reactions on society and the environment.

Text Box: Respect the learning environment. The time you spend in class each day is your best opportunity to grasp new concepts, get a head start on your homework, and ask questions. Be sure to maximize this time. Take an interest in the subject matter. The more connections you can make with the material you study, the easier it will be

Text Box: to motivate yourself. Keep an agenda. It is crucial that you keep track of upcoming deadlines in all subjects and manage your time accordingly. Take initiative.

Units of Study

Text Box: Assessment and Evaluation Assessment is the ongoing process of collection information about student achievement. A variety of assessment tools will be used. Assessment may be diagnostic, formative or summative. Diagnostic and formative assessments do not carry a mark weight. Summative assessments count towards the final mark. Student achievement

Text Box: will be communicated formally to students and parents. Seventy percent of the grade will be based on evaluations conducted throughout the course; thirty percent will be based on a final examination and a summative task. The evaluation of Learning Skills will be reported on with a letter grade (E, G, S, and N). Students will find that concentrating on these skills will result in a high
